*We are in the process of finalising venues for events, we will advise you of these when you have registered

Events have been arranged to take place in the evening to avoid any clash with clinical sessions.

At the events we will share the outcome of the health needs analysis undertaken across the South and how that has influenced the location and proposed activity in specific areas. It is also an opportunity to share the results of national work in determining future pricing strategy for these services and how this can be applied locally.
Details of the Dynamic Purchasing System (being used to procure these services) and how the procurement and selection process will operate will also be provided.

Each meeting will have a focus on the services required locally but there will also be an opportunity to receive information on services from wider areas should any provider be unable to attend the event in their locality.

For providers who have already registered on the Dynamic Purchasing System it will be an opportunity to consider, taking account the proposed contracts size and location, whether their
application is still applicable or whether they would wish to reapply in a more appropriate configuration.

The events are open to all providers who may want to deliver NHS orthodontic services in the future. If you would like to attend any of the events please register your interest by sending an email to scwcsu.orthosouth@nhs.net providing your company name; attendee(s) name(s) and contact phone number by no later than a week before the event date you wish to attend.
